August 12, 2025
This week’s Tłı̨chǫ annual gathering and assembly is celebrating two decades since the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement came into effect.
“This is just a remarkable event. I see it as a historical event 20 years in the making,” Tłı̨chǫ Grand Chief Jackson Lafferty told Cabin Radio.
“[There’s] just a lot of excitement here, a lot of happy faces from Tłı̨chǫ Nation and even from the public.”
The first comprehensive land claim and self-government agreement in the NWT, the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement secured Tłı̨chǫ ownership of 39,000 square kilometres of land surrounding Behchokọ̀, Whatì, Gamètì and Wekweètì.
